At a command prompt as root, type 'ntsysv' Place an '*' in the brackets next to inet by pressing the spacebar. That should do it.

Well I searched the archives on the telnet problem in 7.0 heres what I did: 1) I installed the telnet server per advice given by many here. That did not make telnetting in work. 2) I reduced my security setting in the install to the lowest level. That did not make it work either 4) I checked my inetd.conf to make sure the telnet service was listed and it was. 5) Next I RTFMan pages like I should have done first, and learned that when /etc/inetd is run, It watches for requests for services and starts them if they are listed in /etc/inetd.conf For kicks and grins, I ran inetd and telnet works! I realize that there may be security concerns doing it this way, so two questions for you folks: A) How do I get inetd to load on bootup? B) How do I make it more secure? Thanks and I hope this thread helps others.
